## Range Filter

The Range Filter operator crops a point cloud to an axis-aligned box, discarding every point outside its bounds. Along with cropping, it measures how much of the box is occupied, so it doubles as a simple presence or zone trigger.

### Operator Properties
- **Bounds**: the minimum and maximum corners of the box.
- **Invert**: remove the points inside the box instead of outside it.
- **Bypass**: analyse the box and update its outputs without filtering the cloud.
- **Count Threshold**: outputs stay at zero until more than this many points are in range, which ignores sensor noise.
- **Max Fill**: the point count that represents a 'full' box when calculating **Fill Value**.

### Outputs
- **Point Count**: the number of points in range.
- **Fill Value**: point count divided by Max Fill.
- **Proportion**: the fraction of the input cloud that is in range.
- **Occupied Bounds**: the bounding box of the points in range (not available when inverted).
